OK,
So this is a long story but I will try to summarize it as best I can in point form.
1. I bought a standard sapphire rx 460 to install into my hp computer. It did not boot at all, no bios no windows.
2. Called amd, they told us that since the GPU has no external power connector, it could not be supported by the old HP Mobo.
3. Returned sapphire rx 460, switched to a xfx rx 460 with a 6 pin connector. Same problem as #1, called hp, they said they couldn't help us unless we pay $100. Called amd, they said that the GPU is probably UEFI, and the motherboard needed a update. We could not find the update, called hp, still no help. Called amd again and they said since there is no UEFI update, we should buy a older GPU.
4. Returned xfx rx 460, bought a Asus gtx 750 ti OC, and installed.
5. Installed Asus GPU and tried booting from a legacy source on bios. This caused the pc to boot to the bios splash screen, and to emit a series of slow beeps about 10s apart, then a few fast beeps, following with the pc showing a completely black screen. Tried with the old GPU too, windows would start to boot, then display sys_bad_config_info in a bsod.
6. Wiped HDD, old GPU works fine, new GPU will go to bios splash screen and do its beeping procedure, then not display anything.
What could be causing the Asus GPU to not want to boot into Windows? Please help! I am stupid.
